Bracelet watches, which made a strong reappearance at this year’s Swiss watch shows, are finding their way onto the wrists of Miami’s women of style.

While timepieces with colorful leather and rubber straps offer women a bold and vivacious way to accessorize, metal bracelets that wrap beautifully around the wrist are providing a shimmering alternative, particularly in Miami where they offer cool comfort in contrast to the warm climate. Many watch brands offer stainless steel bracelets in soft, supple links or in fixed styles that mimic a cuff bracelet for a look that blends wristwatches with fine jewelry.
